Wood turtles and the head start program

• A nice video on the Blandings’ turtle Head Start. We are raising Wood Turtles this year, but it is through the same project and follows a lot of the same protocols. (2 minutes)https://www.zoonewengland.org/protect/here-in-new-england/turtle-conservation/blandings-turtles/

• Longer video on Blandings’ Head Start - this one actually shows the whole process, from the turtle nesting to hatching to showing the Head Start project work with a bunch of kids, to the release back to the wild (9 minutes) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePD_RdtIwF0
